tails never fails, got a duck, we got bowled out for 108 in 30 overs. they chased it down for the loss of 6, got 2 wickets not enough. may lose top spot. it bloody rained at drinks which didn't help our cause

Finished a coaching session tonight feeling tremendously good about cricket. It was with a group of players we've been working with for some time (U11 now) and was one where we picked out some little, subtle technical intricacies with several of them that really made a difference to how they were hitting the ball. Two things were great - the progress they made and their attitudes toward it all. Joy to coach it.

Next week we are doing a wicketkeeping master class with the County/District U13 and below. I have a bunch of drills and ideas in my mind, but has anyone got any favourites?

Just played my first game of cricket in 2 years!, bowling first change i got a decent amount of outswing with pace, but struggled with front-foot no balls in an effort to pitch the ball up, which really put me off. I still ended up building decent pressure, but not enough to pick up any wickets
